Heidi Helena DunsheaFluency Found
As I rub the smokey colors from my eyes,
Watch the minutes, so mellifluous.
Shards of penitence glint in the rain,
The petrichor almost masking the sting of sibilance in your string of words.
Too small, too small to remember the incendiary strife.
Too old to abandon the blaze.
White mist morning contrasting with the fiery…read more -

DanniDear Superwomen,
As I noticed March coming to an end, which makes me aware that women’s month awareness closing it curtains for next year. It makes me wonder why does it have to be a month to honor women for what we’ve been through? Why can’t it just be everyday, just acknowledging our accomplishments and hardships. Of course, it can be too much…read more

Chasing Your Dreams group 1 week agoI am glad I took a chance
LarryI had fallen into a career I truly loved, selling floor care, cleaning products, and equipment. It came on the heels of me losing a job with United States Steel, Duquesne Works, in Pittsburgh. The mill closed, and I thought that was it for me, but my mother taught me to have a good work ethic, so out hunting work, I went. I found two jobs being a…read more

I love your story Larry. It’s a story of taking a chance on yourself, believing in yourself and going for it – no matter what anyone thinks. So amazing and so inspiring. Thank you for sharing and thank you for being a part of our family. <3 Lauren

Maryann Turoci shared a letter in the
Magical Moments group 1 week, 2 days agoHow taking a risk taught me the meaning of family
-MaryannYou can picture the scene. A typical college student, full-time classes, long lectures, terrible cafeteria food, and going to sports games. What might not be so obvious is why I went to college. A lot of things built up over the years, and waking up in a dorm room felt so freeing. I felt like I could finally breathe. Almost six hours away from my…read more

Maryann, I absolutely love this story for so many reasons. It is so well written. But besides that it shares a message of courage, a message of friendship, a message of determination and a message of the power we each have to create a better environment for our lives and our future. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for being a part of our family.…read more

ShelleyDear Unsealed Community,
When I was in my first semester of college at C. W. Post I was very unhappy. I had never been away from home for any length of time or away from my parents. I was also a very sheltered 18 year old so I was a bit unprepared for the typical college bad behavior that goes on. Adding to this, I did not get along…read more -

Hi Drew, and Lauren!
Drew, your story about your “hat in the ring” is truly inspiration! Thank you for always being in my corner! I was inspired by your risk and I am taking my own!
As they say, “Now I have to execute the game plan!!

Outmaneuver your enemies, who feel,
Replete in knowing they’re the heel.

Inspire them to be better than before.
View their progress and motivate before you bore,
Inverting foe to friend, like before.

Dear Unsealers,
I wrote this poem as an Irish blessing for St. Patrick’s Day. But I didn’t get the chance to post it here.
The poem is as follows:
A blessing from my three leaf clover

Mmm…. Lovely orange blossoms my favorite. I would like to lie between the orange trees and soak their sweet scent.
To be taken by the wind as I stare at the lovely blue sky and believe clouds could really be animals and other silly things.
Taking in the sun and its rays feeling the heat kiss my face.
I smile and dream lovely dreams of days past…read more -

MgodoyAt the end I suppose.
I came home and walked to my medicine drawer to grab the medication
I usually drink nightly. I take the bottle and take one. I then decide to take all the bottle. I let some fall in, then all.
I am not sure if I came in knowing I wanted to or already had a plan
I head inside the closet and I texted the ones I loved and…read more-
Melinda. I read this and I see so much strength. I am sorry for what you are going through. But it takes courage to fight to get better and it takes even more courage to tell people about it.

Victoria MakanjuolaDear Allison,
My name is Victoria and I want to first start out by appreciating your strength. I’m a 25-year-old digital creator, blogger, and mental health advocate from Texas! I never really claimed to be an “advocate” because I have no diagnosed illnesses. However, we all have mental health- and I’ve come to realize that it shouldn’t have to…read more

I didn’t know Twitch at all to be honest. I stay in touch with current pop culture as much as possible. I’ve learned as much as people say you get older and out of touch. I say no you get busier and have different priorities or other things absorbing your attention. So I didn’t know the impact he had on others but respect that he maximized the g…read more

Thank you so much for these touching words Jamie. Writing this letter makes me think of Cheslie Kryst, the former Miss USA who also died by suicide. She had my dream career and I’d have loved to be in her position, but some of us are carrying invisible weights. I wish I could do more than write a letter to be honest but I hope she reads this one…read more

LaurenDear Mom,
Growing up, I didn’t always appreciate you as I do now. I didn’t fully understand you as a child because our dreams were so different. At ten years old, I was outspoken and already very career driven. You always liked working and wanted to do well, but you never had a burning desire for a promotion or more responsibilities. For a lon…read more

SagePain from the valves. It’s like pain we must allow. That corrals the mild. It’s like your inner child being lost in crowd. That’s loud. Boisterous like an oyster—Crushed. It’s something we all experience in the most serious of situations. Ones that lead to lituations and often litigations that are wrought with hatred. It’s almost as if someone nev…read more
